Not to be sappy on main, but I will literally never forget when I finished listening to The Magnus Archives for the first time back in mid July and then listened to the S5 Q&A where Jonathan Sims compared doing a podcast to doing a big painting.

Because I was literally in the middle of doing a big painting. I think hearing him say that is the closest I've come to doing an actual spit take.

Now I'm almost done with my second listen of all 200 episodes of TMA, last week I finally finished the big painting, and I'll be getting it delivered to the client sometime this week. As the 200+ hours of work I put into the painting came to an end, I know that I have never been more excited to be able to say "look at it - it's finished!" about anything else I've ever done.

If you're reading this, Jonny, thank you.

#I am excited for what the future will bring and what I have to offer with the time I'm given.#tma #the magnus archives #jonnywaistcoat #genuinely just the idea of being able to say 'look at it - it's finished!' has been what's getting me through the last three months #the fact that i finished it before my birthday is a genuine miracle tbh #i was cutting it close but i made it #and i got to spend my birthday with some of my friends without the looming guilt of 'You Should Be Working On This' around #now i get to focus on the projects and other things that i've had on the backburner while working on that commission #(which was 20 square feet btw. biggest piece i've painted - let alone worked on - by and large)#but it's done now #put a nice bow on it (metaphorically) and everything #blah blah blah #I'll likely be posting some pictures of it later
